Such a great boss, I'll get on Ofo!
The scene then conveniently transitioned to Friday noon, with everyone sleepily getting up from makeshift folding beds.
Just take that paragraph above—
"My God, they actually have beds for their afternoon naps?! I was completely shocked."
"Shockingly enough, our company doesn't provide beds or allow us to bring our own so we don't take long naps. If you try to sleep on your desk, you definitely won't get to sleep for long."
After everyone had regained consciousness for a few minutes, Song Zhiming turned on the company's stereo and started playing music.
The background music subtly stirred up the employees' emotions.
"Let's tidy up a space first."
Everyone quickly put their respective tables together.
Compared to typical companies, Zhixing Games' office area is so large that it feels almost empty; you could feel that if you shouted inside, your voice would echo.
After all, one floor of Chuangzhi Yunjing is usually enough to accommodate several companies, but Jiang Chuan booked an entire floor.
How many people has Zhixing Games recruited in total?
If the area were to be divided equally among the employees, their conversations at work would probably be filled with singing.
The employees lined up and sat down.
Song Zhiming took out some board games and asked everyone what they wanted to play. The games she laid out were all common ones, such as Werewolf, Three Kingdoms Kill, and UNO.
These board games have been carefully selected to avoid creating an awkward atmosphere from the start that makes the game unplayable.
"What? When did team building activities become like this? Board games?! This is too comfortable! I'm really going to call the police if you guys do this kind of team building!"
"This doesn't look like a company event at all. Can't the production team just say it's a gathering of a few young people?"
Yu Yue and his team quickly reached a consensus and chose Werewolf as their first game. This game has strong social attributes and is a board game with a very high skill ceiling and a very low skill floor.
There were just enough people.
I initially thought that choosing Werewolf would create some exciting entertainment, but as viewers watched, all they could see was a bunch of noobs fighting each other.
It's a truly low-level game.
"Although we don't yet know exactly what this company's main business is, it's probably not a game company."
"The execution was truly mind-blowing, yet it inexplicably created great entertainment value. I must commend the editing team. If you're ever looking for a side hustle and don't know what to do, I recommend editing for entertainment purposes."
"It's like I'm hallucinating about what it's like when my cerebral palsy friend and I are playing Werewolf, hahaha."
Only a truly good team can achieve this level of effect. Of course, this doesn't just refer to the development team of Zhixing Games... well... it could also be the palace intrigue team mentioned earlier.
I feel like the palace intrigue group would have even more entertainment value if they played Werewolf, doubling the level of excitement.
That would be a truly high-level game.
Everyone hasn't had enough yet.
The assistant manager came out again. I thought she was telling everyone to stop team building and start working.
"I think we've had enough fun, everyone, let's call it a day and go home."
Netizens were a bit confused. How long has it been?
Their perception of time is based on the editing of the program, so it might actually feel like only ten minutes or so. But judging from the clock on the screen, it's only a little past 3:30, isn't it?
An hour and a half... No, are you guys playing because you're afraid of getting tired?
And wow, is it time to get off work already?
Is this a normal company?
Is it true that your company doesn't need to do any business?
...Indeed, we don't need to do much business right now; the project will only be initiated next week.
"It'll be before 5 pm when I get home from get off work, right? This is a weekend plus half an afternoon off! Seriously, I'm devastated. Is this an extra half afternoon?! This is like having an extra half of my life!"
"Please put bosses like this on our shared bikes! I'm going to buy them all, okay?!"
The production team thoughtfully included an epilogue, allowing viewers to witness the employees leaving the company after get off work.
As we all know, getting off work is a very happy thing.
Being able to leave the company on time makes the experience twice as enjoyable.
But how can anyone really be that happy?!
She doesn't look tired at all.
If you had just toned down your smile a little, it wouldn't have made me so jealous.
At that moment, a comment appeared on the screen, expressing the sentiments of the audience.
"Going to work can actually be fun and enjoyable..."
The ellipsis at the end was used perfectly, instantly conveying a sense of lingering aftertaste and a feeling of knowing the full story.
...
The audience for "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People" is not limited to college students and office workers; some company bosses are also paying close attention to it.
The perspective of an employer is completely different from that of an employee.
Especially the first episode, which received a warm response, about the so-called socially anxious friendly company.
Xiao Tianqi could tell at a glance that it was a publicity stunt, probably a gimmick deliberately created by the production team. A company that needs to operate and survive in the market would never interview its candidates like this.
To put it bluntly, it means that social anxiety makes one unsuitable for the workplace.
For a commercial company, efficiency and profit are paramount. Both require intensive communication—communication with clients, vendors, and users.
Are all the children they admit autistic?
What future does this company have?
In particular, Xiao Tianqi's own company was actually selected by the program team of "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People".
It happened during this team building session.
It's strange, really, because the subjects are different every episode. For example, some of the ordinary people who appeared in the first episode didn't appear in the second episode.
The only exception here is that guy named Zhuang something, who appeared in two consecutive issues, and both times he was the final one.
Therefore, Xiao Tianqi's guess that the test was a publicity stunt and a gimmick is not without basis.
People of Xiao Tianqi's age who have achieved success in their careers and have happy families are considered role models of success in life.
Entrepreneurs, especially middle-aged men, tend to like to teach others how to be good people as they get older.
He is very confident in his company; his employees are obedient, and his team is very capable.
Otherwise, how could it have remained a dominant force in the market?
As a result, Xiao Tianqi, who was originally full of confidence when he saw his company being selected, was instead criticized for his old-fashioned approach and lack of originality.
Team building is just about the same thing, isn't it?
Do you need any more tricks or new ideas?
For Xiao Tianqi, team building is a gentle approach, while management is a combination of kindness and strictness. He's confident that his company's team building activities are already at a mid-to-high level, so why are these netizens calling them a waste of time?
They even said things like, "Do you really think we enjoy these unnecessary activities?"
Xiao Tianqi couldn't stand how young people these days were getting out of control.
The current social atmosphere is not good either. There are sayings like college students are easy to die from, and people complain about being tired and lazy, and just give up and do nothing.
People have to endure hardship, especially young people. How can you learn anything if you don't endure hardship? And then there are those who immediately ask for high salaries and weekends off.
Before asking the company for anything, you should first ask yourself what contributions you have made to the company.
Xiao Tianqi grew angrier the more he thought about it. After pondering for a while, he decided that an outstanding entrepreneur like himself should do something to stop this unhealthy trend from growing.
Otherwise, where will we find good employees in the future?
He tossed and turned in bed, finally sitting up and getting out to make a phone call.
"Hey? Where are you going again?" His wife, already impatient with his tossing and turning, asked as he got up.
Don't come back in an hour or two and wake her up.
"All you do all day is sleep, sleep, sleep. Of course I have to get down to business. I'm going to make a call." Xiao Tianqi said impatiently. He took his phone and went to the balcony.
Just then, the HR department sent over a document.
[HR Department: Mr. Xiao, this is the new list of new employees who will be laid off due to poor performance. Please take a look.]
Xiao Tianqi was preoccupied with saving the world, so he had no time to care about these new employees with poor work skills and attitudes. He simply replied, "Follow the rules. Fire those who are not up to par."
During peak recruitment season, Xiao Tianqi's company typically employs a bottom-ranking elimination system to further screen for the employees they want.
These recent graduates who were hired and then dismissed face a very awkward situation.
They are no longer recent graduates; their status as recent graduates has been revoked due to social security contributions, and they have also missed the school's campus recruitment.
Furthermore, because of the bottom-ranking elimination system, it will be difficult to find employment through social recruitment.
Xiao Tianqi's strict employee management system is clearly designed to lurk in the roadside bushes, kicking these recent graduates hard in the back of their life paths.
Jiang Chuan was unaware that his new KPIs were already on their way; he was still observing Chen Rui.
Hmm... It's quite a strange story. He was observing Chen Rui, and the other person was reading "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People".
First, he watched the second episode, and then he lingered in the comments section. I don't know what resonated with him in a comment, but he suddenly liked several of them.
"Is this... a sign of change?" the count asked curiously.
"It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. But I feel it's unlikely he'll relapse in the short term." Jiang Chuan didn't confirm, he hadn't expected the dream to have such a strong impact on Chen Rui.
It seems like they didn't do anything particularly outrageous.
He simply incorporated some events from his previous life into Chen Rui's dream.
Actually, Chen Rui just wanted to see a team-building activity; that dream had indeed left a deep shadow on him. Then, while searching online, he happened to come across this wildly popular book, "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People."
Then I looked for empathy in the comments section.
The main thing is to learn how to insult people precisely.
Perhaps because of the incident on the subway, coupled with the dream, Chen Rui has been recalling the events in his dream from time to time these past few days.
The most important thing is that I actually failed to yell back, and I actually woke up like that!
That's utterly disgraceful.
He first searched online for a set of universal insults, and then felt that as a company boss, he couldn't be too low-class, so he searched for breakdowns and analyses of these negative team building activities.
I decided to keep attacking the opponent from start to finish.
In other words, as I watched, I started to realize I looked kind of like a pervert...
Suddenly I could understand Xiaolin, and those female employees who were forced by him to do the game despite their reluctance.
Jiang Chuan observed for about ten minutes before preparing to leave.
The Earl, however, seemed reluctant to part with Chen Rui, who had reformed after being "spiritually corrupted," glancing back every few steps with gleaming eyes.
So this tactic works really well?
Take notes in a small notebook.
From now on, we must carry forward the legacy of the Magical Girl Administration.
